about president obama. here is a quick clip. >> i appreciate that call from the president. he was very proactive. i appreciate that type of leadership and i appreciate the president's telephone call and if we do need something i've got the number and i'll be sure to use it. >> bill: the president was there on the side of the people of new jersey in this disaster, correct? >> oh, absolutely no question. look the government is important. you're talking about the importance of government and government's role, you know, i believe it is an important government role, not only in disasters and emergencies like this but in general in terms of trying to get our economy back. i think that that may be one of the -- a big difference between democrats and republicans. democrats really believe that you know, that the private sector needs the government help. but i think everyone whether you're democrat or republican would agree that in this type of emergency that the government is important. we have to work together. >>
